(Baonghean) - Dresses and blouses are among the items that vividly reflect the cultural identity of the Thai ethnic people in western Nghe An, representing the culmination of skillful and delicate patterns and harmonious colors.
 |
| Since ancient times, the ancestors of the Thai people have known how to raise silkworms and weave cloth, hand-weaving and embroidering beautiful and exquisite dresses that reflect their unique cultural identity. |
 |
| The Thai people in western Nghe An province are divided into two main groups: the Thanh Tay and the Muong Tay. The women's clothing, especially the skirts, differs to some extent in patterns, motifs, and colors between the two groups. By looking at the skirts on display, knowledgeable individuals can distinguish which Thai group the garment belongs to. |
 |
| During their free time, especially after the harvest and as winter approaches, Thai women often skillfully embroider skirts for themselves, preparing for upcoming holidays and festivals. |
 |
| Currently, in western Nghe An province, there are many clubs and cooperatives specializing in brocade weaving, bringing together skilled women to produce, exchange, and learn from each other's experiences, support product sales, and contribute to preserving the cultural heritage of the Thai ethnic group. |
 |
| The patterns and motifs on the dress are exquisitely decorated, showcasing sophistication, skill, and high craftsmanship. |
 |
| The skirts worn by women of the Thai ethnic group, belonging to the Tay Muong lineage, feature colorful patterns. |
 |
| Wherever Thai women go and whatever they do, they always preserve the unique cultural characteristics of their ethnic group. |
 |
| Highland markets often feature stalls selling traditional Thai dresses. |
 |
| The Thai dress, worn alongside dances, songs, and performances in various competitions and festivals, contributes to the charm of Vietnamese women. |
 |
| Every year, at national costume competitions, the performances of Thai women's traditional costumes always receive enthusiastic applause from the audience. |
 |
| The dress helps Thai women achieve a more graceful figure with every step. |
